Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Whatever supports and uplifts life and human values is Dharma.


Q. What are your thoughts on the Caste system?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Classifying people based on their birth is incorrect. All human beings are one!


Q. What do we need to do to increase faith?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: There is no need to put effort. Faith comes by itself.

2) Faith in the society

If we have faith in any one of these, we can progress in life.
